Subscriber in Far-off China Tells Of Interest in Work of Co tri tribntor (By C. Mortimer. Bezeau Kitchener, formerly of Clinton) When, from thne to time, I ticked off on the typewriter a fete recollect- ions of earlier days in Clinton that might be of interest to a few of the young, and some who are net so young among News -Record readers, I hart na thought that these remin- iscences would find, readers far be- yond the boarders of Canada. Imagine, therefore, my surprise at receiving a letter from a former 01an- tonian from as far away as China. The letter is from Rev, Elisha A. Townsend, of Changteh, Human, China, who attended Scheel in Clinton during the early part of .the century. The letter is dated August 6, and was received September 16. The follow- ing eaacerpte may be of interest to many DTEW'S-RECORD readers: t "You will be surprised . to receive this letter fr•osn me. I have i•eacl with much interest . your articles in .0LTiN,TON NEWS -RECORD.

At that time I knew everybody in the town, consequently I are very much interested in the section 'Frani Our Early 'Files,' fovby and twenty-five .•ears ago; Your articles giving a little more detailed information on the early Happenings, are read with a great deal of interest."
